We’ve been told that Bookmatch "feels like a Buzzfeed quiz if Don DeLillo had been a Buzzfeed employee." Correct? Take the quiz and find out.

Got my quiz link via email today, and the quiz was quite fun and resulted in some excellent recommendations. I highly recommend donating for the joy of donating, but also for the profit of bookmatch.
